ATLANTA (AP) — After clinching the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs for only the second time in their Atlanta franchise history, the Hawks were left to contemplate the remainder of the regular season.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Thunder keep losing players and finding ways to win.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Golden State Warriors whipped perfect passes through the lane that led to pretty shots and plenty of high-flying dunks.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks are blowing away everyone in the Eastern Conference.
